There were/ are 4.10 gears for the Ital. I had a chance to buy one. Perhaps you could go that route. Parts for 10s getting scarce. Some machine shops could turn out shafts $$$...

Im not going to say never, But I've done a lot of reading on the Ital/Marina axles, swap options, etc. I have never read that the Std 10 has any compatibility with the latter Morris axle although they may share some parts, etc. Here is one example where the poster didn't mention the Std 10 among the cars that interchange with the Ital/Marina: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=911662 At any rate, I believe the Ital is wider than the 10, closer to the Escort width. You could probably get a lot of Standard info on a club site https://www.standardmotorclub.org.uk/standard8-10

I am considering moving the battery to the basket in a 90s Live axle S3. Looking for ideas. Can we have some pictures of batteries in the boot? Battery type is still to be determined.

Will you be able to watch it while driving?

Did you get the 3ft or 8ft cable?

Thanks, Im getting a distributor dialed in by a dizzy tuner and I really need #s for my same build and displacement. I might just need to wait until after my rebuild with new ring pack, etc.

how about the sensor sizes and threads? Is there a standard? Is there any thread difference between an AFR O2 sensor and a Lambda? Can a Lambda be a stand-alone system? This may help https://lambdageeks.com/o2-sensor-thread-size/

This depends on the engine. There were a few engine differences and slight width differences in the Kent engines used between the Lotus and Caterhams. This is very much a hand fitted car with many variables to specify.

Heres some good reading on pressure caps https://icemancooling.com/2011/01/14/radiator-caps/ https://icemancooling.com/2011/01/17/radiator-caps-continued/

I see it. Im getting two wips.

how about links for that stuff. Just think of all the 7s you could save!

And that is? Drum roll please....

@lotsatsOn 5244-SJ, what is the source for the small front wing markers?

Its, the guy who's wife lets him keep one single toy wins!

The hands... Im not far behind ya

"assemblage of parts"

I believe there is an active Prisoner fan club doing events there.

Is a half full >1ltr expansion tank large enough to not need a recovery tank?

I have been seriously considering converting to a closed loop coolant system for the Crossflow. Someone, [edit]Roger King , said the closed system essentially eliminated head gasket leak issues on his cars. This thread proves a few points, the traditional "recovery tank" open system pressure cap is prone to fail and leaving the system sucking air or collapsing the hoses upon cooldown. Also the caps in the USA that fit the neck are not always the correct length as those for the thermostat housings on the UK Escorts. In theory, a closed system will not allow this to happen because it eliminates the bypass function of an open system pressure cap with an air space in a pressure vessel for thermal expansion and pressurization. If the vessel is kept only half full, there shouldn't be any fluid loss. I have looked at many tanks on the market and settled on two. Actually three but one is in UK and other options are easier to obtain. 1. Howe racing 3424 https://howeracing.com/collections/radiators/products/surge-tank-horzontal-mount 2. Carbuilder HTHB/HTHR https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/horizontal-header-tank-bottom-brackets https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/horizontal-header-tank-rear-brackets 3. Moroso 36350/36351/36355/36356 https://www.moroso.com/universal-coolant-expansion-tank63651/ There are the Gen 1-3 Corvette tanks that are very good $$$ In theory, the front filler neck cap will be replaced (or not) with a basic sealing cap allowing the air bleed outlet to flow to the top of the coolant reservoir. Or, an air bleed at the top of the radiator. The water pump will draw from the bottom of the reservoir to create the cycle for a self bleeding system. Sounds good to me. Heres the perfect thread about XFlow sealed conversions that has all you need. https://www.caterhamlotus7.club/forums/topic/262147-sealed-cooling-upgrade-instructions-ford-kent-x-flow/

Hoping to get numbers from someone's car.

cheap used Caterham 1600 GT Xflow or that new Suzuki thing. Big power sells cars, but big power doesnt always suit the driving environment. The lower piwered 7s are more suitable for city and urban driving.

anyone have thier compression ratios and psi averages from a Caterham Sprunt spec 1600 Crossflow?
